Glutes bands sculpt workout

Time to get those glutes in gear! Summer is here!

You'll need bands in light, medium, hard tension and one light to medium tension band with handles or dumbbells, also a mat.

Start with a warm up of ten minutes (or you can start with 3-5 minutes if you are new to jump roping and you can work up to ten minutes) Also, don't just speed jump, mix it up, with some skipping style jump rope like when you were a little kid. Your heart rate will still get up there. I promise!

​Next Move: Air Squats with a Light to Medium Band 
3 sets x :30 secs each and :15 secs off between each set.
You should really start to feel limber in the glutes, knees and hips with this move. If you have a hard time jumping, just squat without the jump.
